Drag Race: what鈥檚 it done for queer culture?
Drag has sashayed into the mainstream.
This was the year that the world鈥檚 most famous drag queen, RuPaul, brought his critically-acclaimed TV show to the UK. The series has helped bring British drag queens and topics that affect the LGBT community to a wider audience. But, does appreciation of drag always mean there鈥檚 acceptance in society?
In this episode we speak to Baby Lame, host of the official Drag Race UK podcast on 主播大秀 Sounds, to get the lowdown on life as a drag queen. We also talk to journalist and author Amelia Abraham about what happens when queer culture goes mainstream.
You can listen to the Drag Race UK podcast on 主播大秀 Sounds, and watch the whole series of RuPaul鈥檚 Drag Race UK on iPlayer.
